cardiovascular system
• at 32 weeks, homozygotes exhibit a round, swollen and pale heart relative to the smaller, oval and darker stained heart of wild-type mice
|
• at 13 weeks, homozygotes display large glycogen-containing lysosomes in heart muscle fibers
|
• at 32 weeks of age, the heart is round rather than oval
|
• at 32 weeks, homozygotes display cardiac enlargement
|
• at 32 weeks, several homozygotes display an abnormal electrocardiogram with a high voltage QRS complex
|
• at 9 months, homozygotes are viable and fertile but exhibit signs of a developing cardiomyopathy in the absence of overt clinical symptoms
|
growth/size/body
• at 32 weeks, homozygotes display cardiac enlargement
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• at P8, homozygotes display generalized and progressive glycogen storage, with glycogen-containing lysosomes detected in liver, heart and skeletal muscle cells, smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, Schwann cells, and anterior horn cells
|
muscle
• at 13 weeks, homozygotes display large glycogen-containing lysosomes in heart muscle fibers
|
• at 9 months, homozygotes are viable and fertile but exhibit signs of a developing cardiomyopathy in the absence of overt clinical symptoms
|
• at 6 weeks, homozygotes display large glycogen-containing lysosomes in between and parallel to the fibrils of the femoral and sural muscles, triceps and skeletal muscle of the tongue; more numerous focal deposits of glycogen are detected by 13 weeks of age
